How to Tie a Tie: Choosing, Coordinating, and Knotting Your Neckwear

by Daniel K. Hall

In an era when casual Friday starts on Monday, men tend to panic on occasions that demand a tie. Help has arrived! Here are all the answers for a generation that doesn’t even know the questions about this once-standard article of clothing, such as: How easy is it to spot the difference between a cheap tie and a good one? How long should a tie be when properly knotted? What’s a rep tie, and what’s dangerous about wearing the wrong one? There’s history (the Duke of Windsor never wore a Windsor knot), shopping tips (how to test a tie’s quality), and reliable fashion advice (which patterns make the best impression), plus a chapter on knot tying. Unlike a loud tie, this makes the perfect holiday gift!

My hubby loved this book. This book is great for those guys that love to wear ties in an not so ordinary way. If women have shoes, men have ties.

A great book with a little history, practical tips on selecting good quality and stylish ties, and a few cool knots to give us some variety or an updated look. Just what I needed.
